Kaizer Chiefs will have been knocked out of the MTN8, after suffering a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Golden Arrows at the FNB Stadium on Sunday night. Thanks to the solitary goal from defender Khulekani Shezi in the second half, which was enough to send Abafana Bes’thende to the last four. Arrows now join Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns and Sekhukhune United in the MTN8 semis. Chiefs coach Fernando Da Cruz reacted by introducing fresh legs, with Etiosa Ighodaro and new signing Langelihle Phili coming on with the hope of bringing some spark to the team. It will now be back to the drawing board for them, as they will host a revved-up Sekhukhune United side midweek and the big test against Mamelodi Sundowns on Saturday.
